Samsung needs software update to a least of charging to keep it secure. Once I charge to 30% battery, I can begin the update. If the update is done, the phone can turn on.

Hi Please1230,

Yes, Samsung now requires at least 30% battery charge to initiate seamless software updates on Galaxy devices. This is a precaution to ensure updates complete safely without interruption.

Samsung has recently standardized seamless update support across its Galaxy smartphones, a feature that installs firmware updates in the background while the device is in use. This minimizes downtime and ensures that critical system files are updated without disrupting user activity.

However, to maintain system integrity and prevent update failures, Samsung mandates that the device must have at least 30% battery before starting the update process. This threshold helps avoid scenarios where the device might shut down mid-update due to low power, which could lead to corrupted files or boot issues.

Why the 30% Battery Requirement Matters

• Prevents incomplete installations that could compromise system stability.

• Ensures secure partition switching during seamless updates.

• Protects user data by reducing the risk of update-related crashes.

This requirement is part of Samsung’s broader effort to enhance update reliability and security. If your device is below the 30% threshold, you’ll be prompted to charge it before proceeding with the update.

For best results:

• Plug in your device before starting any major update.

• Keep your battery above 50% for added safety during firmware installations.
